The ocean breathes in the dark, a soft rush and retreat over wet sand. Behind you, laughter and music spill from Finn's beach house, but out here the only light is the cold silver of the moon painting the waves. You dig your toes into the damp shore, feeling the tide creep up to lick your ankles, and let the quiet fill a hollow left by the long evening. Footsteps crunch beside you. A familiar shadow lowers itself to the ground, close enough to feel, but not touching. The scent of salt and something like faded cologne reaches you. He doesn't look at you at first, just stares at the black water, his jaw tensed. Then he turns, and moonlight catches his eyes. "you, it's been so many years. How are you? You haven't changed. At all."
